Fandom: Sanctuary
Pairing: Helen Magnus//John Druitt
Fic title: Truth
Author: artaxastra

Rating: G
Genre: Angst, Romance, Family, Missing Scenes
WIP: No
Why this must be read: It's a beautiful sad look at Helen & John's relationship through the ways Helen lies about John to Ashley throughout Ashley's life and what happens when Ashley finds out the truth about her father. The richness of detail is breathtaking and the characters and situations are so three-dimensional and believable. I love how John is not just a bogey-man, he's real and Helen loved him. This is my personal canon.

Fandom: Sanctuary

Fic title: Suns in Their Courses

Rating: PG -for discussions of violence.
Genre: Romance, Banter, Angst, Hope
WIP: No
Why this must be read: Because its John and Helen in all their bantery glory, and they don't pretend the past didn't happen or that the other one is perfect. It's them as the flawed characters that they are and there's real believable hope at the end that completely fits them. I never finish reading this without a smile on my face.
